I'm sure this is true at least for the opening credits, as there are
flashing dropouts, typical for celluloid films. So here the masterpiece
has progressive content, was telecined and in the end copied to VHS with
interlaced signal.
But for the rest of the video, I'm wondering that I nowhere notice such
dropouts. IIRC I read, that the film was produced with a budget of
20.000 DM, which IMHO is not enough for a 76 min. celluloid film.
Additionally in the turning camera scene from 2:34 I see comb artifacts,
which are typical for interlaced video recordings (see attached
extractions).

This I would agree!

Sorry, what you mean by that?
